Total tax paid
R 620
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 85.37 to pay you R 4 450. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.39 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
13.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12% tax rate now rises to 13.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
